    1. [NYNAS ] Greenwich Point (Roosevelt) Burial Ground
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Raynor, Smith, Rhodes, Mollineaux Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lRB.2ACE/530 Message Board Post: I'm looking for information on the Raynor family burial ground that was located in Roosevelt (Greenwich Point). I can't find the burial place for several people, who were lived and died in Roosevelt in the 1800s. Does anyone know the names of the people who were buried there and what happened the bodies of those people? According to an article published in the Brooklyn Eagle (June 7, 1896), a burial ground was located on property that was owned by Hewlett Raynor. This burial ground contained several generations of Raynors and was located west of the home that was built by Hewlett Raynor's father, Vandewater Raynor in 1796. In 1896, that 100 year old home was demolished by Royal Mollineaux, who owned the property in 1896. According to a 1783 map, the property of Hewlett Raynor was located opposite the triangle formed by the point where Babylon Turnpike meets Freeport's North Main Street.
